Sept 14: Carol Tyler at Library of Congress
The Triumphs and Troubles of Telling the Tyler Story
Carol Tyler will discuss her creative life in Comics to a 'T': The Triumphs and Troubles of Telling the Tyler Story. A pioneer of the "autobiographical" comics genre, she uses her own experience to tackle the complex issues of the human experience. With grace, humor, and style, her work has helped shape the direction of comics. This includes "The Hannah Story," a powerful story about loss, which was named one of the Top 100 Cartoons of the 20th Century. Carol was recently given the title 'Master Cartoonist' by CXC, at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Art Museum in Columbus.
Tyler's 2015 book Soldier's Heart, about her Dad's trauma from WWII and its impact on her family, received a Gold Medal Award from the Society of Illustrators, the Cartoonist Studio Prize from Slate Book Review, eleven Eisner Award nominations, two Ignatz Award nominations, and was twice a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Carol's latest book, Fab4Mania, details her personal obsession with the Beatles and her concert-going experience as told from her thirteen-year-old self's point of view.
Join us for an engaging talk by one of the comics industry's finest!

To my peeps in England, if you're out and about, today is the day my first work appears in the classic kid magazine Beano! [Beano has been around for] 80 years! Yep, my first work for them! Unless they wise up, i should be on it for a little bit anyway. Thanks to my pal Ned Hartley I've been given the chance to earn my GB street cred! [I'm doing] the oddly named Tricky Dicky. He pulls pranks all the time. The red haired kid in the bottom right hand corner is from one of my strips in the mag. Ned writes Banana Man for them. Some peeps might remember that character from the cartoons they broadcast on Nickelodeon back when they also aired Danger Mouse circa 1983 (+/-).

Tomorrow, Sept 5: Martha Kennedy speaks on women cartoonists
Martha H. Kennedy - Drawn to Purpose: American Women Illustrators and Cartoonists — at Politics and Prose at The Wharf
Wednesday, September 5, 2018 - 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Kennedy's ground-breaking survey presents in detail the lives and work of eighty women illustrators from the late nineteenth century to today. Starting with Golden Age artists Mary Hallock Foote and Alice Barber Stephens, working through the twentieth-century careers of Jessie Gillespie and Edwina Dumm and on to today's Roz Chast and Lynda Barry—among many others—Kennedy, curator of popular and applied graphic art in the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress, draws on the Library's collections to highlight an important and overlooked tradition. Her discussion includes not just comics but cover designs, editorial illustrations and political cartoons; she also highlights issues central to women artists, such as access to artistic training, the impact of marriage and children on careers, and gender bias in the marketplace.
